Visitors including gardeners, smallholders, and farmers from across Wales and further afield are expected to flock to this year’s Royal Welsh Spring Festival over the weekend of May 19-20.

A number of new classes are being introduced in several of the livestock sections at this year’s Festival including those for sheep, angora goats, pigs and cattle.

One of the major attractions at the Festival is the Green Horizons Sustainable Living Exhibition, a highlight at the event since it was introduced in 2006 and now a heady mix of trade stands, demonstrations, family workshops and green-themed entertainment which together provide a variety of ideas to make lifestyles more sustainable. The main ring attraction will include scurry driving, Ye Old Redtail Falconry and Meirion Owen and his Quack Pack. There will also be auctions of poultry, farm equipment and vintage memorabilia.
